At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 295, Han Xin who wants to fight against the enemy and Liu Bang who has great ambitions

Three days later, Wei Bao led 3 Wei troops to Pengcheng. Along with Wei Bao came Chen Xiao and his 1 Nanzhong princes' coalition forces.

Chen Xiao apologized to Han Xin: "Han Zhennan, the desolate south of Nanzhong has a small population. We can only gather 1 troops with all our strength."

Han Xin said: "You're welcome, Duke Chen. With the joining of ten thousand people like you, our Zhennan Army will be even more powerful."

Chen Xiao looked at the young Han Xin and sighed. Seeing him was like seeing himself in the past. In fact, Chen Xiao was only three years older than Han Xin. When he was a newborn calf, he was not afraid of tigers and went to the emperor behind his father's back. Under his leadership, he established achievements that even he could not even imagine.

Thinking about it at this time, he had a dream. He only made the right choice once, but he got a reward that he could not even imagine. Just because of his cousin's rebellion, he also had to bear the price.

Then Han Xin ordered Li Zuoche to deploy the 4 reinforcements.

The next day, the imperial envoy Deng Shuo came to Pengcheng and brought the emperor's latest order, making Chen Xiao, Duke of Chen Guo, the deputy general of the Zhennan Army, and Deng Yue as the supervisor of the Zhennan Army. Following Deng's instructions came a team of hundreds of officers from the Han Dynasty. They joined the Zhennan Army and became the local skeleton of the Zhennan Army.

After the headquarters of the Zhennan Army was established, Han Xin held the first Zhennan Army meeting.

Li Zuochao, who joined the army: "According to the latest information obtained by our spies, in order to resist our Zhennan Army, Xiang Yu sent General Zhong Lizhen to lead 30,000 Qi troops to sit in Ju County, Langya County."

Han Xin smiled and said: "We can learn from the emperor's trick. We can buy grain from the people of Langya County at double the price. Even double the price is a big profit for the court. This can benefit the people and the court. This is Win-win morale.”

Chen Dongdao: "The general failed to abide by the military orders abroad. General Zhendong is the commander-in-chief of one party, so he will naturally make adjustments according to the situation of the war. Just sending troops, it may be General Zhennan who has found an opportunity to defeat the enemy."

The deployment of a large army requires several times the number of logistics personnel. For example, if Han Xin now sends 30 troops, then the Han will have to prepare civilians to maintain this food route. When arriving at Linzi County, this number will be doubled.

Chen Xiaodao: "Ju County was attacked by Xiang Yu back then. In such a short period of time, Zhong Lizhen will definitely come to repair and repair the city wall. If I attack Ju County with an army of 200,000, I should be able to break through Ju County."

The military regulations of the Han Dynasty were strict. When the army was launched, 11 military regulations and military disciplines were set. Anyone who violated them would be severely punished. There was never an exception.

Chen Dongdao: "The people of Qi are not good at fighting. In the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, the Qin State could suppress the entire Qi region with more than a hundred thousand people. The three Tian brothers fought and lost many times and finally lost the Qi State. Although the Qi State is now The country is Xiang Yu, and he is also a fierce general who can defeat thousands of people, but he alone cannot change the situation of Qi that is not good at fighting. "

Battalions of soldiers first marched eastward to Donghai County, and then went north along the Qinzhi Road to attack Ju County. At this time, the inner line was still operating. Han soldiers only needed to bring a small amount of dry food to march and reach their destination. There were local granaries that could be used as supply points for the army.

"Nuo" Chen Xiao said, Wei Bao said.

Han Xin smiled and said: "We have been affected, but Qi State has been affected even more. Without the grain income from Langya County this year, Zhongli Mei will not be able to hold on for long without food even if he has sufficient troops.

Liu Ze panted and said: "If you didn't talk about setting out after the autumn harvest, why did it suddenly come so far in advance?"

But the army has 40 more people, and the people have lost 40 young people. This is almost one-third of the young people in Chu. The autumn harvest will definitely be greatly affected. As food production decreases, the amount of food available to the army will naturally decrease. And without food, this war cannot be fought.

Chen Xiao nodded and said: "General Zhennan's opinion seems feasible. Zhongli Mei does not have enough food and cannot withstand a few months."

At this time, Liu Ze came up and asked, "Is Qi Ren good to fight?"

Liu Ze and others were still undergoing military training. They thought they would train for another month, but they did not expect that as soon as the Wei army and the coalition forces of the princes arrived, they immediately went into battle, catching all the soldiers by surprise.

Chen Xiao said: "Get the map!"

Chen Xiao said: "Zhong Limei and the 30,000 Qi troops are all stationed in Ju County?"

Li Zuoche said: "Our army is waiting for the autumn harvest to assemble, and the Qi army is also waiting for the autumn harvest to assemble. If the Zhennan Army's 20 troops are assembled, Zhongli's army opposite us may have 6 to 7 troops."

Li Zuochao said: "There are about 30 people in Langya County. One out of ten will be 3 people. An extra 1 people will be counted for the Qi army to fight on the mainland, so Zhongli Mei can gather up to 7 Qi soldiers."

"Supervisor, you will bring 1 soldiers to garrison Pengcheng and continue to wait for the follow-up soldiers and food supplies."

Chen Dong counted the soldiers in his camp again and rested after making sure that no one was left behind.

Chen Xiaodao: "Two hundred thousand people surround 70,000 people. It will be very difficult to defeat the enemy in a short time."

"And my Han Dynasty is based on martial arts, well-equipped, and famous generals. Even the violent Qin is no match for my Han Dynasty, let alone the Qi people. The Qi people will definitely be defeated in a field battle."

Wei Bao then said: "This way we can defeat Zhongli Mei as soon as possible, and we can also encircle Linzi City and make great achievements as soon as possible."

Deng said that he instinctively refused and said: "Your Majesty said that we should make more calculations and prepare before the war. Now our army's food and grass supplies have not been fully prepared, and our soldiers have not been assembled. And most importantly, the autumn harvest has not been completed. Now we are going to attack Surabaya, the East China Sea, etc." The county's grain production will definitely be reduced, which is extremely detrimental to our army's protracted war."

Deng said: "Follow your orders."

Han Xin thought for a while and said: "I wanted to attack in advance and catch Zhong Lizei off guard."

"Quick, keep up. The strong ones will pull the weak ones. Don't lose the team." Chen Dong was strong and strong. He walked outside the team and encouraged his soldiers.

"The whole battalion rests beside the road." After the order was given, the Han soldiers sat in groups to rest under the shadow of the trees beside the straight road.

Liu Zedao: "What should we do if we all defend the city? I heard that a lot of people will die if we attack the city. Is there any other saying that one general can kill thousands of people?"

After Han Xin and the others settled on their strategy, the huge Zhennan Army began to take action.

Han Xin nodded, and then several soldiers joined the army holding a map of the Qi State in Surabaya.

Li Zuoche looked at Han Xin.

Wei Bao asked: "How did you calculate the enemy's strength when you joined the army?"

"Furthermore, going on an expedition now has another huge advantage for me as a big man, that is, I can fight with the enemy on food. One stone of food obtained in Langya County is worth transporting 10 stones from the rear. As long as the Zhennan Army reaches Langya County, it will not need the rear for a short time. The grain resources of Langya County can be harvested, and if the grain lost by the Qi army is included, then our army will make a profit of 20 dan."

Compared with consumption, we, the big man, have an advantage. Even if we don't have the food and grass in Surabaya, we still have Aocang's food and grass to support us, but Zhonglibei doesn't have the food and grass from Langya County, so the soldiers will have to go hungry. "

Deng Shuo frowned and said: "My military discipline does not allow disturbing the people, let alone robbing the people of their food rations. If a large number of people in Langya County starve to death, we will lose our heads."

Han Xin has always attached great importance to intelligence work. Before he accepted the position of the fake general Zhennan, and when he learned that King Qi defeated Tian Heng, he predicted that there would be a war between Han and Qi, so he sent a large number of spies. Go to Qi State, especially Langya County. So at this time, Han Xin had already established a complete intelligence network in Langya County and could know a lot of intelligence about the Qi army in Langya County.

Han Xin and others agreed, and Deng said he was persuaded by Han Xin to agree.

Then Han Xin said: "This general, Chen Guogong, and Wei Bao led an army of 10 people to go north to kill Ju County."

Chen Dong sneered and said: "I am a big man with stone cannons. I can even break through the strongest city in the world like Xingyang. Qi people can try to defend it and see if their city wall can withstand a 300 kilogram stone cannon."

"Only a small number of troops are stationed in other counties."

When Liu Ze heard this, he said happily: "My big man is so powerful, no wonder so many people join the army."

Chen Dongdao: "The reason why so many people want to join the army is essentially because Dahan is also a military-industrial empire. If you want to become a master in Dahan, you must participate in battles and establish military merit. As long as you have military merit, you can become Han officials can make a fortune and even establish a vassal state of their own."

Liu Ze said excitedly: "My cousin is a hero of the Han Dynasty. He also established a vassal state in Liaodong. I follow my cousin's example and want to make contributions and establish a vassal state in the future."

Chen Dong smiled calmly and said, "Then you have to work hard." He was not surprised by Liu Ze's thoughts. Although Xu Fan has deleted many cruel laws, the Han Dynasty is still a military empire and a benevolent version of the Qin Dynasty.

The martial virtues inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, coupled with the Han's system of military honors and titles, and the system of enfeoffing vassals, brought the martial virtues of the Han to unprecedented heights.

Wealthy people in the Han Dynasty would find ways to train their nephews in martial arts, cultivate military talents, buy them weapons, equipment and armor, and spend a lot of money to hire retired veterans of the Han Dynasty to become instructors to train the children of their own family.

In the affluent Chen County and Guanzhong areas, a large number of military training gyms for officers have appeared. The people who opened these martial arts gyms were retired veterans of the Han Dynasty. They recruited disciples and taught these students their martial arts and military training experience.

The families behind these students are also willing to pay the price of money. After all, they cannot let their children lose at the starting line. Although the investment in learning martial arts is large, the benefits are even greater.

By spelling out a prince or even a prince, their family can be passed down for hundreds of years and become a master. These days, there is no way to inherit a family that is more valuable than titles and vassal states.

If you think about the lively training courses in later generations, you can understand that at this time, the Han people were eager for noble titles and vassal states, and they would not hesitate to spend all their family property as long as they had it.

Therefore, the Han people's investment in military affairs was not even much less than that of the Han court. A large amount of private investment has allowed Dahan to have a large number of high-quality soldiers and excellent grassroots officers.

The characteristic of this era is also family unity. Dozens of brothers from a large family train together. In terms of the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the feudal era, they are extremely powerful.

And generals can use their own children as a team to quickly form a powerful small army. All classes in the Han Dynasty invest in military actions from top to bottom, just like Xu Fan invested in the education of later generations, allowing the new Han Dynasty to Martial arts have reached unprecedented heights.

Dai Guo, Dai Capital Palace.

This place is full of singing and dancing, so lively.

While drinking, Liu Bang admired the dancers and said with a smile: "The singers from Zhao are still beautiful, unlike Liaodong where you can only see savages. Dai Wang, your life now is simply boundless happiness."

The king of Dai smiled and said: "If Marquis Pei appreciates these singers, he can take them away."

This singing girl is nothing to Dai Wang Xie, and it is worthwhile to deliberately please Liu Bang.

The biggest hot spot in the world now is the battle between Han and Qi. The Han Dynasty sent out 60 troops, which almost scared Dai Wang Xie to death.

And this is not the limit of the Han's military strength. Lu Chen of Liaodong has also assembled a coalition of 5 princes. This army is all cavalry and is stationed on the grassland in front of Donghu. As long as this army charges, it will take less than three days. Killed to the territory of Dai country.

Every time Dai Wang Xie thought about such an army circling outside Dai's country, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep. At this time, Peihou Liu Bang came to Daiguo and said he wanted to see his daughter Liu Le.

Dai Wang Xie immediately grasped this life-saving straw and entertained Liu Bang attentively, hoping that Liu Bang would say a few good words for himself.

Liu Bang shook his head and said: "I still have to maintain the style of hard work and simplicity. Pei State is a small country with few people and a wild area. It is difficult to attract talents to stay. If I don't take the lead as the lord, it will be even more difficult for the following. It won't be a disaster." A certain person sings and dances every day to achieve peace, but the people below him have to work hard every day. If the top and bottom cannot work together, the country of Pei will not be able to build up. "

The current Pei State is even poorer than the poorest counties in the Han Dynasty, but at this time, everyone in Pei State has a sigh of relief and wants to build Pei State into a hot land that is not inferior to the mainland counties of the Han Dynasty. This was the time for him to lead by example. He wanted to bring a few singers back. I was afraid that the entire Pei Kingdom would be dissatisfied. Then how could he establish his own vassal state.

Liu Bang has great ambitions in history, not to mention that in this era he still has Xu Fan as a role model, so he still has this kind of patience.

Zhang Er smiled and said: "You were greedy for money and lustful back then, but I didn't expect that you would become more ambitious as you get older, and you can still control your desires. It's amazing."

Zhang Er even envied Liu Bang. Although he was the prime minister of the country and held a high position, he was not as good as Liu Bang. Although his Pei country only had one city and tens of thousands of people, it was actually Liu Bang's country. He didn't want to He, the prime minister of Dai Kingdom, could not pass it on to his son. After all, Dai Kingdom belonged to Dai Wang Xie.

Liu Bang said: "At the age of 80, Taigong Jiang still assisted King Wen of Zhou, founded the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, and established the State of Qi. He was only 50 years old, much younger than Taigong, and still had the ambition to make contributions. Although Liaodong is desolate, But the vast world has great potential. A few hundred years from now, the country of Pei may not be as good as the country of Qi now, and the reputation of a certain country may not be much worse than that of Jiang Taigong. "

Dai Wang said: "Pei Hou's great ambition is better than drinking."

After that, Wang Xie and Zhang Er offered a glass of wine to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang said with a smile: "I lied a lot and made the king and brother laugh."

Dai Wang Xie shook his head and said: "What big talk? This is Pei Hou's great ambition. Qi was also a barbaric land for the Dongyi people back then, but now it has become one of the richest places in the world. Who can say what's going on in the world?" It’s clear. Maybe Pei will be richer than Qi in the future.”

Liu Bang complimented: "King Dai, you are not bad at all. Your country has more than a dozen cities and hundreds of thousands of people. It is said that this year, following your majesty, tens of thousands of Huns have been captured, doubling the territory of the country." "Compared to the Dai Kingdom, the Pei Kingdom is a savage country."

Dai Wang Xie shook his head and said: "Peihou envies me, but I don't know that I also envy Peihou. Peihou is a subordinate of the emperor and is highly valued by the emperor. Unlike me and other foreigners, who are already trembling with fear at this time, Qi Wang Xiang Yu has tricked us vassal kings to death."

After Xiang Yu rebelled, the Han people naturally shouted to kill Xiang Yu, and they were also extremely unfriendly to Wei Wang Jiu, Dai Wang Xie and other foreigners. Many Confucian scholars believed that these foreigners were too great a threat to the Han and should be punished. They moved out of the Central Plains.

Dai Wang Xie was extremely shocked when he heard these words. Don't you Confucian scholars agree with the enfeoffment system? How come it has changed so quickly?

Then he was extremely frightened. Dai Guo's strength was far inferior to that of King Qi. Not to mention launching an army of 60, even Dai Guo could not withstand an army of 6.

Then Zhang Er also asked: "What does the emperor think of us foreign vassal princes? Does he want to reduce the vassal state?"

Liu Bang shook his head and said: "What does the emperor think? How can I know if I am in Liaodong? The last time I saw the emperor was at the meeting of princes. Both my brother and the acting king saw the emperor more than I did."

Zhang Er said: "But now the officials of the Han Dynasty are shouting and killing us, the foreign princes, and the King of Qi's incident has made us worried too."

Liu Bang said: "Don't worry, King Dai and brother, there is no big difference between Dai and Liaodong. Even if you want to overthrow them, they won't be able to cut you off. They will only cut down the King of Wei. However, the Han Dynasty will indeed change its attitude towards the princes and kings. Maybe It will be similar to those of us inner vassals.”

Dai Wang Xie immediately asked: "How can I be the same as your inner vassal?"

Liu Bang thought for a while and said: "It's just rumors now. The specific situation has not been determined yet. If someone says it casually, don't take it seriously."

"Yes, yes," Dai Wang said.

Liu Bang said: "A Confucian scholar suggested that the vassal kings in the mainland of the Han Dynasty should extend their favor in order to reduce the threat to the Han Dynasty from these Central Plains princes and kings."

"Tweet favor?"

Liu Bang said: "How many sons do you have on behalf of the king?"

On behalf of the king, he said: "Seven."

Liu Bang said: "Then who will you hand over as king?"

Dai Wang said: "Of course it is my legitimate son Gong Ziyu."

Liu Bang said: "It's unfair for you to do this to your other sons. They are all your sons, but Gong Ziyu can get the entire Dai Kingdom, while the remaining six don't even have an inch of land."

Dai Wang Xie smiled bitterly and said: "This has always been the case. It is impossible for a certain person to defeat 6 more Dai countries."

But Liu Bang said: "The country of Dai has 11 counties. Including the territory that King Dai has conquered this year, there are more than 20 counties. If your son divides the country into three counties every day, everyone will be happy."

Dai Wang Xie said in astonishment: "So this is a favor!"
